This is our other foster, Stella:
She is SUPER sweet, but a special needs girl. Although her eyes look fine in the picture, she is totally blind. Her eyes still dilate, but they don't function. It's possible that surgery could restore her eyesight, but no guarantees. The tests are expensive, so we are leaving that up to her adopter. She is not in any pain, and she gets around our house and yard just fine. You just can't move things around.
She HATES CATS. She cannot go to a home with cats at all. She stalks our two cats incessantly. To have no sight, she is pretty good at it too. She has managed to trap our oldest cat under the dining room table twice. She removed a chunk of his fur, but he repaid her with a very bloody lip.
She can also be a little aggressive with other dogs when she first meets them, mainly because she can't see and she feels threatened. With that said, she does great with our dogs, except for Chester. She hates Chester. I think she can sense that he might be prettier than she is.
She would be best in a home as an only dog, or with another submissive dog. She is not food aggressive at all and she does love her food. She was very overweight when she came in, at 19 pounds. She is currently in the process of losing some weight. She looks better already but she's still a little chunky.
She just had bloodwork done and is healthy other than being blind. She is vetted and microchipped. Her owner surrendered her because she was blind and ran into things and he didn't want to deal with it any more. So, feel free to bash that owner...
Stella really is a beautiful older lady. She is about nine. She will take a couple of days to settle in since she can't see. She'll pace a lot and pant and act stressed but after a day or two she's fine. She just needs to learn her way around. She is available for adoption through Chapman's Dachshund Rescue and I can give you all the information on her too, if you're interested. Just PM me for any questions you want answered! (We are very honest about fosters because we want them to succeed. I'll always give you the real lowdown.)
